I’d say persevere with twitter, my friend had her account hacked and she eventually got it back. I don’t use twitter anymore though I have 2fa set up on it - make sure you set up 2fa if you get it back!

Anyway, I’ve blocked your account and deleted my side of our private conversation. I’ve also reported your account for sending spam. I’m very well thank you,

Oh what a nightmare. Yes, your account sent me a weird private message with a link so I thought immediately it didn’t sound like you. Nightmare!

Hi Craig, has your twitter been hacked, you just sent me a private message asking me to vote for you in something or other and I was wondering if it was really you!!! Hello btw!

😂😂😂 I was thinking about bookshops today. To be honest , I think about them most days! This is so true!

There is nothing wrong with children’s books - I have, and read, a lot of children’s books. Very often they are more honest and truthful than adult fiction.

Oh no! I hope both of you will be ok. OH is ok, he’s healing really well, he’s sleeping at the moment. I suspect in a few days I’m going to have to keep reminding him to rest but I think it’s just a relief not to have that hernia which was being very troublesome for so long.

110

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Oh my! I hope he gets it sorted sooner rather than later. Although I wouldn’t choose an emergency repair as the best way to get to the top of the waiting list and I’m sure you wouldn’t either 😳

He said it was quite nice. It’s surprising as they are both Betsi Cadwaladr.

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Luckily he’s not used to the cocodamol they gave him and it’s making him sleep and sleepy! So he can’t get into mischief. He has a few days of it left but doing too much too soon is my concern!

000

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

I need to be strict re the rest! He even got lunch before they arranged transport home - chickpea and spinach curry with rice and treacle pudding and custard!!!

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

And I hope they can do something to help you. I won’t tell him about that yet! He’s glad to be home, YG wasn’t a very restful place to be!

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Yes, he was kept in overnight; they had to remove some other membranes and it turned out to be a double inguinal hernia; there was some concern they might have to remove some of the bowel after the CT showed it was badly contorted but luckily not. I’m so sorry you are still having trouble (cont..)

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

OH copied you! Admitted to A&E Ysbyty Gwynedd early hours of Saturday night in the worst pain ever - inguinal hernia, op yesterday, home by midday today! Well, he’s not on the waiting list anymore….

Welcome to the dark days of November. Time to slow down a little, to rest a little and embrace the darkness, confident that the Lightbringers are gathering up the last of the sparks of light to hold them safe for us over the winter. If you are quiet of heart you might just catch a glimpse of one

A Cornish tale tells of a pixie who loses his laugh at a #Halloween dance. In one version of the story, Jack-o’-Lantern & a witch gathering ragwort stalks (said to be the very plants witches ride upon on All Hallows’ Eve) help him search until he finds it again. #FairyTaleTuesday

Oh, I haven’t been online much recently. I reckon the wire with the greater circumference might well be Viking and the finer wire Iron Age. I don’t know really but I do know that torcs were often made of many wire strands so I’ll be intrigued to know their age.

Old Fox climbed the familiar track winding through the gorse, Meadow Browns fluttering before him like sombre heralds, up to the top of Barrowdown. There in that light, that gold-milled early September light, he called for help, help from the tattery ghosts of thatch & field & acre.

Oh wow, now that’s interesting and something I haven’t contemplated doing - but I have been through a manhole/ drain cover/ other road ironwork phase in the past. Now I’m going to be looking at gate latches!

Oh, now this sounds like a really interesting book!

Oh, I am so pleased. It was a really good introduction to Sabrina and the Hafren and will be kept for reference.

Oooh, book 2 of Molly? That is exciting!

I’m just rereading Molly and I’d forgotten what a good read it is! Amidst my runner bean and tomato glut, harvesting herbs for winter and sowing herbs and salads to grow in the greenhouse over winter…

@celestineandthehare.com shouldn’t it be ‘A weasel in my choklit safe’?

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Especially as she is intimately woven into the history of Wales and the Welsh Marches. So thank you.

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Sabrina does not form part of my own personal practice, I live in Eryri which is far from the Severn or her tributaries; however, I felt it was important to read your book about this hugely important river and her deity, especially as her source lies in Pumlumon (continued 3/n)

110

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

And yet environmental issues are one of the biggest challenges we face today. Our spirituality needs to be practical (and pragmatic - we can’t always do as much as we’d like due to personal circumstances) and I like the way you highlight this. (Continued 2/n)

110

Annie ar y fridd @anniearyfridd.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I very much enjoyed reading your book, a nice, concise and personal account of Sabrina, the Severn/Hafren and your devotion to her. I appreciate also your chapter regarding the ecological state of our rivers - so many esoteric authors still fail to mention environmental issues (continued 1/n)
